not a bad buy for the money as you get all the toys that come with much more expensive cars
Sport feel for Basic Sedan

I purchased my red Galant as a 'prior rental'. There is a big depreciation for Galants, so that is the only way I would buy one, as 'used'. I like the sleek sides and look of the car. The red is very pretty, especially just cleaned on a sunny day. The car has a wide wheel base so feels good on the road, I think the power seem fine (I don't think it felt week like the pro review). The interior, however, is very, very plain and cheap looking. ..charcoal cloth seats and black vinyl, holds dust. Arm rests were separating and needed to be repaired by dealer. However, engine seems fine...I think this is a great alternative to a Honda/Toyota for those on a budget if you keep it long.
Mitsubishi is a good option

We bought our Gallant new in 2008 and have over 130k trouble free miles on it. NO. Let me say this again NO Major problems with this car. We simply do the planned maintenance. One downside is with the wrong tires, the car is loud. Alot of interior noise. Something just started rattling around in the trunk area .. sounds like something body related. I had a mitsubishi engine in my 1999 Grand Voyager and we ran that to almost 300k. 2 FOR 2, Mitsubishi has been good to me. A great alternative to the overpriced Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans.
Overall a decent car - Needs many small improvements

Overall quite pleased. Car yields about 25 mpg in 90% city, 10% highway driving. Like the sound of the engine when accelerating. Not that many on the road so it stands out with its sporty styling. Random noises occasionally come from the cabin. Can hear sound of gas sloshing around in back when filled full. Rear was redesigned in 2009 which looks somewhat like Lexus IS although with larger tail lights. Also added for 2009 was 4-wheel ABS, Tire pressure monitor, shiftable transmission and daytime running lights. The car sits lower to the ground than other midsize sedans and is more fun to drive than just about all except for the Mazda6. Has tight steering which lets you feel the road.

Excellent acceleration for a 4- banger. Wish the MPG were a bit better, have been averaging 22 miles with combo driving. It's been freezing here in MN so I'm hoping the MPG will tick up a bit in the spring/summer. Drivers seat is very comfortable and has great leg room (I'm 6'1, 220 lbs). Rear leg room space is great but the seats are a bit low. My 10 yr old has starting using her booster seat again in order to see out the window better. Purchased new, the 2009 Galant ES was $22K. I purchased mine a couple weeks ago with 49k miles for $9991...not too shabby!!!
Underrated and overlooked

Tired of seeing poor "cookie cutter, professional" reviews for this car. This is actually an excellent car and is my 2nd, new Galant (owned an '05 and now my '11). After 180,000 miles of driving the 2011, I've only replaced one set of tires, front rotors/pads and the battery. My only gripe would be that these cars only have a small pass-through from the trunk into the passenger compartment (no fold down rear seats) and that both my galants warped the front rotors after about 25k miles, but after installing a replacement set of slotted/crossdrilled rotors/pads on the '11 - I've had no problem after that. I've enjoyed the car and continue to drive it daily with the only maintenance performed (outside of the typical oil/filter/air-filter changes) was that I changed the balancer shaft & timing belts, water pump/idler pulleys & accessory belt at 120,000mi. (required by the manual) and did it myself - that's it! The SE has heated seats, remote start, backup camera, navigation, among other things and has a really nice vehicle monitoring/display system. Too bad this car has been overlooked and underrated by the "professional reviewers". I like driving something different and it stands out among the sea of Camrys and Accords. Everything on this car continues to work and function as the day I bought it - very impressed! Too bad they don't make the Galant anymore. 12/3/20(Update)- Just surpassed 215,000mi. and still going strong! Performed another timing belt change at 190k, replaced RH tie rod and ball joint, new battery and tires. No issues with original drivetrain and never a check-engine light. Going for 300k+

Not Bad!

I do agree with Edmunds regarding comparison with other vehicles in the 24K range, but let's put things into perspective... Mitsubishi is letting these cars go for about the same price that you would pay for a well equipped Civic! I was able to purchase the SE model for 18K. For the money, I know that a reliable, fun to drive, and not bad looking car was purchased. The warranty can't be beat. I do wish that the gas mileage was a little better, but it's not terrible.
Better than the reviews I've read

I've had a 98 Jeep Wrangler for a decade. So moving to a sedan is an upgrade in most ways. Interior, styling, ride, acceleration; ALL are an improvement for me. I know a Camry or Accord might be better outfitted, but so far, I'm digging it. It is at once distinctive AND doesn't call attention to itself. 2009 restyle fixes design incongruities from earlier models. 4 cyl engine does much better than I thought it would. I'm very pleased. If you are moving from a lesser car you won't have many complaints. I test drove a 2010 Kia Optima before this one, and the 2009 Galant kicks its behind. But then, I guess it should. Love it right now. We'll see if I feel the same after 9 years.
Great Value for Price

I must say that critic's review is harsh to say the least. I have recently purchased my 2010 Galant for $16K and am very much pleased with my purchase. I must say that the V6 option was a nice feature in the past but with gas prices where they are, I was in the market for a 4 cylinder anyhow. I researched the comparable Camry and Accord and the price margin was at least $3500. As someone that needs a daily commuter with great city and highway mileage (21 city and 30 hwy), the price difference helped with my purchase. Apart from great mileage, the car also has a torque happy 4 cylinder; helpful in lane-changing maneuvers, great cabin and trunk space, as well as, a great sound system.
Nice Car

This is my third Galant - I have owned a 1992, 2004 and now a 2010. I also own an Endeavour. To me, the Galant can not be beat. It looks good, drives good and is overall - reliable. My first car was topping 200K miles - 140K of which I put on myself. I never had ONE (not even one) major problem. The car was even rear-ended and held up beautifully with no injuries in the back seat. I am pleased with my new 2010 and hope to get as many miles out of this one as I have my others.
Love My Car!

I purchased my car when I was left with the engine computer going out of my Yota on the highway going 70+mpg in late 2009 when all the recalls were occurring. Safety and reliability are important for me...I took a huge loss as I had negative equity when I purchased that car and then again trading into my Galant. I’d say by far the Galant has been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. It was made in my hometown state of IL.. and I’ve only had to do some minor maintenance on it and the factory tires.. are AMAZING! I’ve special ordered the tires three times from my local tire dealer because of how well they held up... and they are cheaper since they’re petroleum based. My Galant was purchased with SIX miles on it and I now have nearly 190,000! I’ve thought a couple times on trading into a SUV for my growing family but feel this car will continue to be reliable and safe for my family for a few more years! I commute to work daily (70 miles) and have taken 3 19+ hour trips and never once felt it would have any mechanical issues. Although my family feels it’s time to move on to something newer with less miles, I’m sticking to this Galant until it becomes too costly to repair issues.. I hope to see 300-400k miles out of it! Reliability: 5, Heavy Car With Peace Of Mind on any road conditions: 5, Roominess: 5, I absolutely LOVE my car.. not sure on the newer models but this one is a 5 star rating for me!

Edmunds review of this vehicle is REALLY harsh. I test drove many other mid-sized sedans including the Camry, before I purchased my 2010 Galant. A 2010 Camry with close to 20k miles on it would have cost me the same as the brand new 2010 Galant I purchased, with 12 miles. I got a brand new 2010 left over Galant for just over 17k. The sticker price is close to 23k for this vehicle. You will not find a new Camry or Accord out there for anywhere close to this price. For the price the Galant is a great value. I would not pay 5k more for a Camry or Accord, I think the Galant is very close in quality after driving all of them.
Very reliable vehicle

Bought the car with 34k miles , now have 80k miles and still drives the same. The only maintenance performed have been oil changes and front brake pads once. Drives great on highways and passes other cars easily. Five speed speedtronic comes handy on snow days. great car for everyday commuter.

I bought this 2009 galant used in 2011. 80000 miles at time of purchase.Paid 12 thousand dollars for it. I still have her now with 200000+miles. I drove this car all over America and she still runs amazing! And shes got balls too lol. I was told by many people 10 years ago if i kept up with the regular maintenance on this car it could run a long time. And they were right! So get regular oil changes, never let your gas get below a quarter tank. And dont be afraid to press down on that peddle. I know so many people who purposely he's in two speeding up because they think it's better for the car but every car I've owned I haven't drove it recklessly but I put my foot down when I'm trying to go and my cars of all lasted a really long time it ran great maybe it's my good luck maybe it's not I don't know. The only complained that I have about the car is that it is a very basic model meaning it only comes with a CD player and a radio no auxiliary and not too many features inside the car there's no keyless entry on mine.

This is my first Galant. I have to say I'm impressed. I've only owned it 3 months but it seems like this car is well put together. I must say I don't at all agree with the Edmunds OR Consumer Reports reviews. They seem exceedingly harsh. Although I would have preferred a 6 cyl the 4 cyl is quite adequate. Ok. It might not leap like a race car but it has a lot of pep for a 4 cyl. Handling and response is excellent. And, yes, the engine is slightly noisy at times but it's not loud by any means. The ride is very steady, smooth and even. The interior very stylish and the radio sounds great. As far as the quality of the controls. Everybody uses plastic these days. Seats are comfortable too.
Great car for your money.

I had a 2000 Galant before this, that my Niece still drives, the 2.4 motor is a good compromise of power and economy at 168 hp, the mileage is so so for midsize averaging about 26. The interior is not as nice as a Honda or Toyota, but the car is as reliable. It has many features for the price, and the car handles really well. although the car can give a choppy ride on bumpy roads, and is not as comfortable, except for 5 passengers is the most comfortable for a midsize car and better interior rooms then its competitor. There price can be really low compared to Honda and Toyota used. The model was discontinued in 2012.

Extremely reasonably priced, about the best value for money out there. Very quick, reliable, responsive car which rides beautifully and just eats up the miles in comfort. V6 engine has all the power and "get-up-and-go" you need to get out of trouble.

I bought the base version of this car... It's very plastic, especially the trunk that sounds like a tin-can when you close it. Vehicle has lots of blind spots but for the money, it's still okay to drive. One morning, transmission started shifting heavy, took it to the dealer and after 2 days I find out that a squirrel had chewed off a wire that was supplying power to the onboard computer.. My question is, whey leave such an important cable exposed to the element through the vehicle design in the 1st place. Most annoying issue was the squeal of the car when I reverse right after starting the vehicle. Dealer says is happens to all Gallants. Just traded in...
Great job!

Although Mitsubishi only made slight changes to the 2009 Galant, they seemed to pick the best features to improve. The ride is smoother and quieter. The new sport fabric seat is very comfortable and they even have power and 2-part heated fabric seats. They did away with the cheap plastic console and it look very tastefully elegant. A+ overall!

I looked at the Camry because of styling, but after driving it I could feel the car felt more like a GM than a Toyota. I then looked at the new Accord and was overall impressed with the car, except for the comfort of the vehicle and ease of access to the controls. I even looked at Nissan which I said I'd never do again. The plastic interior still needs major improvement. Finally I figured I would look at the Mitsubishi Galant. The sport edition pulled me right in and for a 4 cylinder it has PLENTY pep. The handling is great and the car is extremely comfortable. Even the interior is top notch. I love my Galant. Toyota just lost another loyal customer and Mitsubishi gained a new one!
Overall, Love It!

I bought this car new one month ago and enjoy the ride to work everyday (city driving). My 6'3" tall but lean body build fits into the drivers seat with just enough headroom. The ride is a tad noisy from the engine, particularly with the high rpm's upon acceleration, but not so much to be bothersome. I don't care about the "plastic" interior comments from some of the reviewers. I care more about the small side-view mirrors and wonder why nobody has mentioned this. Also, the turning radius leaves a lot to be desired. Why can't I turn into tight parking spots? The trunk is roomy. The rear passenger space is roomy for a small car. The good crash test performance gives you confidence.
Great car for the money

Needed a car for work to commute into the city. Purchased it used from a local mitsubishi dealer w 75,ooo miles. Have owned many mitsubishi cars in the past and love this galant. Shopped around for other cars honda/Nissan/Toyota, what I paid for the galant those other cars had double the miles. Great car, heated and comfortable seats, stands out on the street, not like every other car that everybody's mother and grandma own.

This is my first Mitsu. Ive been driving it for about 2 months now in summer weather on both city and highway. Im combining about 25 MPG on 91 octane gas, which I think is great due to the elements. The car feels sturdy and 2.4 MIVEC engine picks up well on sportronic mode. It has a roomy interior and comfortable front and back seats. The controls are well laid out for easy access on the go. It comes with high performance all season tires which comes handy on the east coast changing seasons. This car is great buy! Everything sums up to a comfortable, reliable, spacious, sporty fun vehicle to drive. I would recommended this vehicle to a small to mid size family looking for a 4 door sedan.

this is my second galant,and let me tell you it's the best kept secret in the market. for the price i payed for my galant and the features i got in return, toyota and honda could'nt even compete. let me start with the navigation system with back up camera wow,then the six way power adjust drivers seat, sport cloth interior with heat, alloy wheels, fog lights and so much more. the best thing is the 5yr 60,000 bumper to bumper warranty, and 10yr 100,000 mile powertrain.i could go on and on and on.like i said best bang for your bucks.

Bought this car brand new with some Gail damage for 15k, if I remember right. It has been solid and reliable. Never let me down. I have 130k miles on it and have had to replace the starter just recently and other than that brakes and batteries and general maintenance. I think at 11 years old, it still does not look dated. The fabric cleans up grea. No tears or anything. The biggest issue I have is the blure tooth got messed up years ago - I assume they did an update and now it interrupts my radio searching for phone. I tried to replace with a Mitsubishi radio - didn’t help. I think if I put a different radio in it would stop - it is annoying but it is surprising how easy to just get use to things like this are. I think the gas mileage is terrible and WAY lower than advertised. The biggest bummer is they are not making anymore Galants according to my Mitsubishi dealer. Too bad. Good value.

Overall the outer styling is top notch. The interior is nice but leaves room for improvement. The plastics are cheap and that cheapness is everywhere. The plastic scratches very very easily. My car has 4000 miles and looks like it has 50,000. It has only one 12 V adapter. Cup holders are way to far back, seat heater buttons are in a horrible location. The car runs and drives great with the 4cyl motor. This motor does take a bit to rev up but then the power kicks in. By no means is this car fast from the stop, if you want that get that Raliart model. I have already had the turn signal break and the rubber on the brake pedal fall off ( warranty items). The gas mileage is not that great in town.
Awesome car

I was reading all of these reviews and I wanted to agree with what everyone was saying. I have had this car for almost 2 years now. I bought it used with 17,000 miles. The reason why I purchased this vehicle was its low sticker price. I must admit I liked it from the beginning the 4 clyinder has power. The reliability is great all I have done is its recommended oil changes and that's it. Very roomy, let me tell you that's really important to me since I'm 6' 250 pounds! I live in Vegas and with all the driving through the snow on the mountains or the 100 plus degree temps. This vehicle has performed just great! I'm about to do my 60,000 mile service! Great buy and great reliability

I really like my 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. I have been driving it for a little over a month, and have no complaints. It had 29,000 miles on it when I bought, and now has 31,000 miles on it. I was driving a 1986 Lincoln town car, so it is a new experience. Other than feeling every little bump on the road, compared to the smooth ride of the Lincoln, it is a dream. The pick-up (acceleration) getting on the freeway is great, even before it's completely warmed up. The rear window defogger works pretty fast. The defrost works good, and the air-conditioning will freeze you out of there. The stereo system is good, with a nice cd player and radio, and the handling is good. I wouldn't trade it.

Just purchased a used 2009 Galant ES with 49,xxx miles for $9991, brand new, this car was $22k! Traded in a 1999 Camry LE, which we loved, but were looking for a new model family sedan. So far so good. Plenty of space, decent acceleration for a 4 cylinder, and driver seat is quite comfortable. Doesn't have all the bells & whistles of Camry/Accord but pricing is a definite plus and reliability is above avg from what I've read on numerous sites. Looking forward to many happy years of worry free driving.

This is the second Galant I have owned (previously had 2003 with 95,000 miles and that was a great car). Have had this 2009 ES for one month and have put 2,000 miles on it so far. Not a problem, not a strange noise, nothing. Very nice car. Great styling. Nice to have something a little different than everyone else has. Nice ride, love that ABS is standard. Comfortable seats. Very roomy. Very pleased so far.
I Love my Ralliart!

The Galant Ralliart '09 is a very powerful and beautiful car; I love it. High points are acceleration, cruising power, sport leather seats, aluminum pedals, 20" alum. alloy wheels, stereo system, GPS system with many additional (and helpful) applications. Low points include cheap plastic interior, VERY tight suspension system giving a bumpy (and noisy) ride, adjustable seat limitation set too high, rattling seat belt mechanism, over-sized tail lights, and the GPS DVD player in the trunk is set in a very poor location. However, the Pros far outweigh the Cons. As an all-around sport edition of a mid-size car, I'm very pleased with it, but hopefully, the 2010 will address the low points.
A Good Value

This is my first Mitsu (prior Camry & Accord owner). Not as refined as a Camry/Accord, but with rebate and deal, a far better value for the money. However, I'll be bringing it back for third service to hunt down an intermittent engine noise. Although disappointing on that one issue, it has been otherwise a good car (so far). A comfortable fit for a tall person. I purchase a car and drive it into it's grave. Camry's and Accords have gone the distance for me (10-15 reliable years). I'm hoping the Gallant will go the same distance.
Second best car I've ever owned!

Like the title says: 'Second best car I've ever owned!' The first you ask? '79 Pontiac Trans Am, but that's another story. Presently, I have 80,000 miles on this car, and I have had absolutely no problems what-so-ever with it. The reason I have so few miles on the car is likely because I also ride a motorcycle, therefore I'm on the bike a lot more than in the car. Of course, I don't ride the bike in the winter months, nor do I ride the bike in bad weather so that's the reason for the low mileage. Hopefully, I can keep the Galant going for several more years because frankly, I hate the new car buying ordeal.
Impulse buy - turned out GREAT!

I saw this car in the show room (black w/ black leather, 18's. ) gorgeous. Made my heart stop. Sitting in it, I thought, "I can't afford this" . Killer sale, got it for like 22k and had them drive it out of the showroom. So far, so good, been almost 13 months. No problems, almost 14k miles. I'm loving it. Definitely a head-Turner. Have not see others like mine on the road thus far! Unsung hero. I think Mitsubishi has a lifer now. Definitely would recommend!

I've looked for over 4 months for a used mid-size car, I looked at 2008 Accord, I wasn't pleased with the road noise and the asking/selling price tag of $17,000+. My research began again, back to square one back to crash test ratings sites/edmunds.com and that's when I found the Galant. I liked how it drove more than the Accord and the price was over $8,000 less! Most used Galants for sale had been rental cars and with over 35,000 miles on them, but I kept looking and found some with less than 18,000 miles and for below $12,000! So I was sold! I couldnt be happier - I did my research and I have saved over $8,000.00! I may do an update review if Im still pleased with my poor/smart's Accord!:)

This is our first Mitsubishi. It was a nice car at a great price at 0% financing. So far we are really enjoying it.
It's just OK

Mitsubishi did a good job on the rear end of the 09, but hardly did anything to the front. The Sports Edition that I have does have the chrome top to the grill and darkened headlights but that's it. Its ok on gas and ok on comfort. On a recent trip, my backside really got sore so I assume the seats could have been made better. I do not like the waffle like dash, I can already see where dust settles on it. When in idle, you can't turn the headlights off, like when you're waiting for someone. To me that's irritating. There is not an accessory adapter in the console like the prior years did. Engine is very noisy compared to my 08 Camry, and the doors sound tinny compared to the Camry.

After 3 used cars, the 09 Galant became my first new one and I love it! I came out of a 98 Galant and what a difference. I've racked up over 12000 miles in 5 months so I have a good feel for all aspects of the car's performance. I could nitpick and agree about the lower quality plastic interior and stuff, but that's not what I rely on to get me around town. The interior is driver friendly, spacious, and comfortable in any type climate. It pulls well going up mountains, downshifts nicely in bad weather and has smooth acceleration. I would wish for a few more horses on those short on ramps, but otherwise, it has plenty of get up and go.
Ralliart Fun

We owned a Mitsubishi Diamante VRX 03 model and were looking to replace it after 5 years of trouble free driving, and found out the Diamante was discontinued. The other car makes were all test driven and some stood out more than others, like the Passat and Maxima sedans, and then my wife and I drove the 09 Gallant Ralliart. Well it rekindled our love for Mitsubishi with the build quality in the car plus the wonderful 258 horsepower 3.8 MIVEC engine and sport shift automatic transmission. All we can say is we recieved more for our money and fun for our dollar!

Before I test drive my Galant, I had preconceived notions about the Mitsubishi brand. I'd always heard that they were unreliable, underpowered, and boring. But, once I put my foot on the gas, all of that flew out the window. The 2.4L has plenty of power, and has more pickup than my previous car, a 1999 Saab 9-3 turbo, even though it has less horsepower. The Galant rides perfectly on the highway, with some wind noise that some of my other cars didn't have. But, it handles better than I could have expected. Braking, accelerating, and cruising are all top notch.

I am a car guy. I bought the Ralliart used surprisingly. It looks great, drives and is simply a rocket ship. The Liquid Silver is a great paint and the wheels are nice. Leather is comfortable. The Navi is okay with accuracy but the features of the Navi and radio are terrific. My wife even enjoys the ride of the car. Winter is almost here and I'm curious to see how it handles snow. I am averaging between 420-450 miles a fill up.
